jericho Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 A writer for the new Superman project has said he opposed gay marriage and now the gays have protested. A few questions. Are we not allowed to oppose things we don't like or agree with? If he is fired, is that discrimination based on his belief of opposing gay marriage?

20/20Hindsight Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I think you're allowed to oppose things you don't agree with just like people are allowed to protest against the actions/statements/beliefs of others who don't agree with them. Both sides, as far as I'm concerned, are well within their right of free speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those uppity gays and their quest for basic civil rights... when will they give it a rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run To State Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Those uppity gays and their quest for basic civil rights... when will they give it a rest?If Card and/or DC Comics weren't selling to gays, I'd agree. There is nothing wrong with believing marriage is between a man and a woman, it's their religious conviction. I have that belief myself but have no problem with civil unions for gays and believe they should be afforded the same rights as married couples.

I think a boycott is a perfectly acceptable reaction in a political discussion like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, it'll make those that view it as a religious institution dig their heels in more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run To State Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Maybe so.I'd say likely, but hey, they're free to boycott if they wish. I support that right. I just think there are better ways to reach someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
